I agree with Christgau that this is mainly notable for the second, live disc. Even so, at this grade, it would be # [live]. But the studio disc inspired me to go for it, especially since the label did the right thing and re-issued the original release as a standalone, remastered, single CD in 2022, with only a single bonus track, for those who didn't want the 2 CD "deluxe" set. After decades of listening, I'm calling this band (or more properly, Ray Davies) an acquired taste. Issued in 1972 - one of the greatest years in music.
